This allows me to explicitly close the right display and hopefully fix the interface staying open upon mission end.
@Commy2's theory is that perhaps the main display `46` is killed upon mission end, meaning that `findDisplay` can't find the spectator display to close it because the game thinks it doesn't exist.
Using the "external" view is limited by the server difficulty setting. Instead the spectator external camera has been replaced with an oribtal camera as was originally planned to be added alongside the default views.
A public API system to allow external systems to interrupt and resume the spectator interface. Also made use of it for the escape menu and zeus support.
- Optimize and improve 3D icon drawing
- Combine 2D and 3D PFHs into 1
- Render group icons outside of 200m, unit icons within
- Store list of groups on units update to cut down on what needs to be done each frame
- Change map control type to 100 to remove all default unit icons
- Improve colour caching, group colours don't change, unit colours do
- Remove icon setting, toggling should be at users discretion
Hacking the BI respawn framework to support a spectator setting was intrusive and limiting. Instead of using a setting, I've opted to introduce a new respawn template that can be used within BI's respawn framework. The benefits of this approach are:
- Compatibility isn't a concern, that responsibility is shifted onto mission designers.
- Mission designers can use the functionality of the BI framework alongside the spectator system (combining templates, using different templates for different sides, etc.).
- If a custom respawn framework is used, then this doesn't change anything. Custom frameworks are still fully supported via the public functions provided.
- Remains simple to set up, just requires a description.ext edit
Seamlessly integrates the spectator system with the vanilla respawn framework when the onDeath setting is enabled. This commit makes a lot of changes:
- Edit BI functions used by the vanilla respawn framework to enable support for ace_spectator.
- Set spectator state is now tracked using a GVAR for the local player since using a unit won't be reliable all of the time. However unit is still marked for any filtering purposes.
- Instead of NV being used based on the sun to moon transition state by default, that functionality only takes place in the integrated system so that custom frameworks can do what they want.
- Seagull units are hidden when using framework integration since they're spawned by the engine with respawn type 1 and they just hang around undesirably
Using boolean instead of simply checking for the display. Checking for diplay was unreliable since it can be technically closed while theoretically open during the escape menu and such.
With the changes planned to allow spectator in the true death state, physical changes aren't applicable in all of the possible usage cases. This separates the physical process into new function ace_spectator_fnc_stageSpectator
-Localized keybinds.
-Removed fnc_cameraIntro.sqf; superfluous.
-Various code clean ups.
-Changed: Condition for mission end now checks allUnits (todo: change to allPlayers when available).
